I Have Mild Depression

A few years ago, I realized I was in the middle of a mini depression, stemming from issues I am still challenged by today. At that time, I pulled myself out of it by using journaling, yoga, vitamins, light therapy, and talking with a therapist.

It worked then, but now I am once again finding myself slowly withdrawing from my life. I am on autopilot. I am not necessarily sad all the time, just not as joyful as I usually am, with much of my creative energy gone. The glitter has faded...I am in a fog of sorts, with no motivation to do much of anything productive. That is not like me.

I am slowly taking steps again to naturally bring myself back to my true, sparkly self. I am managing, barely, with support from those closest to me. I started seeing a new therapist, so that's good. I continue to walk 3 miles in the fresh air, each day, which helps ground me. I am searching for positive podcasts and enlightening books. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Have you been through this and found certain things have really helped you? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I look forward to getting back to my fully fabulous self very soon! ✨

I am so sorry you are battling this Glam. I only once had anything like depression. I was getting divorced(30yrs ago) and had thoughts of suicide. Not sure why but...sitting by myself alone crying...I decided that death didnt solve anything and that I and I alone could fix me. So I decided that the rest of my life I was gonna do what made me happy. And I have been! My hope for you is for you to find you and your inner peace. You are such a gorgeous, sexy Lady and deserve to be happy with yourself and life.

Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry you went through that, but really glad you didn't follow through. I agree about doing things that make you happy. I am pretty good about nurturing myself. I try my best to live as positively and authentically as I can. I do need to find that inner peace. I appreciate the encouragement. ✨@PTCdresser57
